Soy is hiding everywhere. It's in cereal and supplements. It's in canned tuna, soups, breads, and meats. It comes in aliases such as textured vegetable protein, and lecithin. During the processing of soy, toxins are produced like glutamate (MSG), and aspartate (aspartame) and you know, these cause brain-cell death.
You thought soy was good for you. That's what the soy industry would like you to believe. But the reality is soy is bad. Soy causes hormone problems and digestive problems. Soy disrupts thyroid function and fertility. Soy has even been linked to cancer. It is an allergen.
In the United States the soybean is America's third largest crop (harvesting 73.8 million acres in 2002). After it is harvested, it is highly processed, just like almost everything else, and has been causing health problems for decades. If you are consuming soy on a regular basis, you may want to catch up on the other side of soy.
Here are some facts:
Soy is not a complete protein
Soy is not a natural food
Soy has many contaminants
Soy is among the most processed of commercial foods
Almost all soybeans are genetically modified
By the time you eat it, soy is inedible; you cannot digest it nor use it as anything for nutrition.
I'm sure you don't eat margarine anymore but if you do, here's the story, the soy story. It began in the 1930's when Dupont took soybean oil; the non-commercial processed byproduct of soy production, heated the oil to over 410 degrees, and forced hydrogen gas into it for five hours. After a few other chemical changes--wa-la--you have margarine. It is a few small molecules away from plastic. It lasts forever but it sure can spread nicely.
It gets worse. Have you heard of Canola oil? You can find it in any grocery store. You can't buy Soy oil, you have to buy Canola oil. There is no canola bean, bush, or tree. Canola oil is a compound word--the word is derived from the two words--Canada and oil. Canola oil comes from the rapeseed plant, a genetically engineered soy product. You thought margarine was bad. The human body has never encountered this food-like product of man. It is completely foreign and it will be a matter of time (years, decades) to uncover all the problems Canola oil will have done. The marketers have made sure Canola oil is lost in most of the products you buy.
Back to soy. The miracle food wannabe. It comes in many forms. You've seen them but just never understood what they meant. Here's a list:
"vegetable flavoring"
"natural flavoring"
"vegetable shortening"
"hydrolyzed protein"
"textured vegetable protein"
Soy products are labeled for your protection by the trustworthy FDA and they are packaged by the companies you have eaten from for years. Recognize these companies that use genetically altered soybeans?
- Crisco
- Kraft salad dressings
- Nestle's chocolate
- Parkay margarine
- Isomil and Prosobee infant formula
- Wesson oils
- McDonald's French fries
- Doritos
- Tostitos
- Ruffles
- Pillsbury foods
- Similac infant formula
You mean they never told you the beans were genetically engineered? This list is not complete.
Yes, soy is everywhere. It is far more prevalent than you would have even imagined, causing problems you never would have imagined.
Go to the market and get the foods you recognize and eat them. Do not eat things that are not food. These things are stressing your body. You do not need any more stress in your life.
